Kingdom Hearts Reportedly Could Be Coming To Disney+ As An Animated Series
Kingdom Hearts fans have been a very loyal and dedicated fan base over the years, following the story across a variety of gaming consoles. However, a new platform is reportedly in the works to continue on the story of Light versus Dark. Square Enix’s Kingdom Hearts video game is apparently in development of getting an animated television show that would be available on Disney+.
While nothing has been officially stated by Disney on this matter, there’s been a bit of discourse about it on Twitter, which has our hopes up for this being a possibility in the future.
Emre Kaya, a writer for The Cinema Spot, got the discussion started by tweeting that Square Enix was asked to make a pilot using the animation software that was used in the video games, as things didn’t work out well with Disney.
It was with Kaya’s tweet that we also discovered that it would most likely be an animated show, as most fans were worried what a live-action version of this video game could look like. After seeing how 20th Century Fox’s Assassin’s Creed movie turned out, fans have the right to be worried when it comes to adapting video games into live action media.
The conversation only continued to grow when Skyler Shuler, The DisInsider editor-in-chief, added more information regarding the development of the show.
It would be a series, rather than a movie. Whether the series would follow the events of the video games or tell a new story, we’re currently unsure. It hasn’t been reported if the voice actors for the main characters of the game like Sora, Roxas, Aqua or Axel would have a part in the show. However, the voices actors for Goofy (Bill Farmer) and Donald (Tony Anselmo) would be reprising their role, as well as Jim Cummings, who voices many beloved Disney characters.
While nothing is officially reported or has a release date been announced, the idea of this becoming a reality is definitely exciting.
More exciting announcements regarding the Kingdom Hearts franchise should be occurring next month, according to the Kingdom Hearts Twitter account.
Timothy Olyphant Will Star in 2nd Season of “The Mandalorian”
While the highly-anticipated next chapter of “The Mandalorian” draws closer and closer, more and more A-list names are being linked to the closely-guarded show. Now, according to The Hollywood Reporter, whispers throughout the galaxy have said that Timothy Olyphant has joined the saga, and will star in the second season of the show.
Olyphant will be joining Temuera Morrison, Rosario Dawson and Kaytee Sackhoff as newcomers to “The Mandalorian”, which will debut it’s second season on Disney+ this Fall. Known for playing tough characters on “Deadwood” and “Justified”, it has yet to be announced who (or perhaps, what) Olyphant will portray in the “Star Wars” universe.
Now that filming has wrapped on the second season of “The Mandalorian” and the third season is already in pre-production, hopefully more clues and sneak peeks will start to filter their way across the galaxy any time now.

“Phineas & Ferb The Movie: Candace Against The Universe” Coming To Disney+ This Summer
There’s a 104 days of quarantine… wait, no, it’s summer vacation! And although some of our summer vacations may look different, it seems that Phineas and Ferb are still up to their usual summer fun in an all-new movie for Disney+!
“Phineas and Ferb The Movie: Candace Against The Universe” will be coming to Disney+ this Summer after being announced at the D23 Expo last August.
As part of the #DisneyBundle that Disney, Hulu, and ESPN+ are doing today for National Streaming Day, Disney released a sneak peek of photos from the new movie!
From Variety:
In “Phineas and Ferb The Movie: Candace Against the Universe,” currently in production for the new streaming service, stepbrothers Phineas and Ferb travel across the galaxy to rescue their sister Candace, who has been abducted by aliens and has found utopia in a far-off planet, free of pesky little brothers.
“Phineas and Ferb” creators Dan Povenmire and Jeff “Swampy” Marsh are back as executive producers on the movie, while also reprising their roles are Ashley Tisdale as Candace Flynn; Vincent Martella as Phineas Flynn; Caroline Rhea as their mom, Linda; Dee Bradley Baker as Perry the Platypus; Alyson Stoner as Isabella; Maulik Pancholy as Baljeet; Bobby Gaylor as Buford; Olivia Olson as Vanessa; Tyler Mann as Carl; and Povenmire and Marsh as Dr. Heinz Doofenshmirtz and Major Monogram, respectively. David Errigo Jr. joins the cast as Ferb Fletcher.”
Summer vacation seems like it’s about to get more interesting as Candace takes on much more than her little brother’s antics. Although we don’t have an official release date, summer is quickly approaching, so we should know soon when this new movie will be available for streaming.
